Emerging phone carrier company MetroPCS recently added a 4G smartphone (along with 4G LTE service) named the Samsung Indulge. In order to make sure the news gets spread all over the place, they have decided to get a help from our favorite Hip-Hop artist, Snoop Dogg.

Snoop Dogg commented, “It feels good to be working with MetroPCS and Samsung for the launch of the Galaxy Indulge. I’m stepping it up to 4G’s so my phone can keep up with my demanding, always-connected lifestyle.”

This is something no other phone companies thought about doing, in my opinion. Kudos to MetroPCS! Meanwhile, check out a full press release below.
